Cookies ???????

["Sharma, Harsh" <ha...@hp.com>]

Hi All,

Situation : I have a Custom Tag which based on previously set Cookie
Value generates some tables Dynamically. I need to come up with a Unit
test for this Custom Tag. 

Problem : Since I don't have a actual session going Cookie are not set
to Values which are required to generate these tables, so how do I set
values for cookies to generate these tables.
 
Any help would be welcome...though a sample code would be more than
welcome....

Thanks in advance

Harsh Sharma

I don't sample here but the beginXXX(...) is the good place for this

You can add cookies at beginXXX method:
	public void beginXXX(WebRequest theRequest)
	{
	    theRequest.addCookie("name1", "value1");
	    ...
	}

Then, you can refer cookie(s) at the corresponding testXXX method:
	public void testXXX()
	{
	    Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
	    ...
	}

If you have to set-up an object as a session attribute
for your custom tag, you can do so:
	public void testXXX()
	{
	    ...
	    String cookieValue = getCookieValueByName("name1");
	    session.setAttribute(cookieValue,
	                         someObjectAssociatedWithCookieName1);
	    ...
	    // instantiate and test the target class.
	}
	private String getCookieValueByName(String theName)
	{
	    ...
	}

Hope this helps,
